| | REVIEWED FOR COMPLIANCE WITH: |
| | FBC 2010 EDITION |
| | NFPA 70 2008 (NEC) |
| | |
| | CORRECTIONS REQUIRED: |
| | IN FOLLOWING YOUR RESPONSE LETTER ON THE ELECTRICAL |
| | REVIEW COMMENTS OF THE PREVIOUS REVIEW, BELOW IS A LIST |
| | OF ITEMS THAT REQUIRE FURTHER EXPLANATION OR ACTION. |
| | THESE WILL BE NUMBERED AS IN THE INITIAL REVIEW BECAUSE |
| | THEY ARE NOT NEW COMMENTS BUT PREVIOUS COMMENTS NOT |
| | PROPERLY ADDRESSED. |
| | 1. COMMENT #3 DEALING WITH THE SHOW WINDOW OUTLETS. NEC |
| | 210.62 REQUIRES THAT THERE BE AN OUTLET WITHIN 18" OF |
| | THE TOP OF THE WINDOW FOR EVERY 12' OF WINDOW OR MAJOR |
| | PORTION THEREOF. IT DOESN'T MEAN THAT IF YOU HAVE TWO |
| | 6' WINDOWS A SINGLE OUTLET WILL DO. YOU SHALL HAVE AN |
| | OUTLET WITHIN 18" OF THE TOP OF EACH WINDOW. |
| | 2. COMMENT #6 DEALING WITH THE "WEATHER RESISTANT" |
| | RECEPTACLES. NEC 406.8(B) REQUIRES THAT ALL RECEPTACLES |
| | IN WET LOCATIONS BE IN ADDITION TO THE WEATHER-PROOF |
| | ENCLOSURE, ALSO BE LISTED AS WEATHER-RESISTANT "WR". |
| | 3. COMMENT #7 DEALS WITH THE DEDICATED SIGN OUTLET. NEC |
| | 600.5 REQUIRES THAT THERE BE IN AN ACCESSIBLE LOCATION |
| | A DEDICATED OUTLET FOR SIGNAGE AT EVERY PEDESTRIAN |
| | ENTRY DOOR. |
| | 4. COMMENT #8 EMERGENCY AND EXIT LIGHTS. THE EMERGENCY |
| | LIGHTING AS SHOWN ON THE PLANS DOES NOT MEET MINIMUM |
| | STANDARDS. IN ADDITION TO EMERGENCY LIGHTING, AN EXIT |
| | LIGHT IS MISSING TO INDICATE THE REAR EXIT CORRIDOR AS |
| | THAT SIGN ABOVE THE DOOR IS NOT VISIBLE FROM LOCATIONS |
| | WITHIN THE PREMISES. |
| | 5. COMMENT #9 CONTINUES TO DEAL WITH THE EMERGENCY AND |
| | EXIT LIGHTS. NEC 700.12 REQUIRES THAT EMERGENCY LIGHTS |
| | BE ON THE SAME CIRCUIT AS THE LIGHTING OF THE AREA |
| | WHICH THEY OCCUPY. WHETHER AHEAD OF THE SWITCH OR NOT |
| | DOES NOT INDICATE COMPLIANCE WITH CODE. MARK ON THE |
| | PLANS THE LIGHTING CIRCUIT USED TO POWER THE EMERGENCY |
| | LIGHTS WHEN THEY ARE INCORPORATED INTO THE PLANS. |
| | 6. COMMENT #10 ASKS FOR DEFINITION OF THE FEEDER |
| | CONDUCTORS OF THE RISER DIAGRAM. ACCORDING TO YOUR LOAD |
| | CALCS FOR PANEL B, THE CONNECTED LOAD IS 152 AMP. PER |
| | NEC 310.15 THE AMPACITY OF THE #2 CONDUCTOR IS ONLY 115 |
| | AMP. THE SAME APPLIES TO THE CONDUCTORS FOR PANEL A. |
| | CONNECTED LOAD OF 291 AMP FEED WITH A 3/0 CONDUCTOR |
| | LISTED FOR ONLY 200 AMP. THIS IS ALL ASSUMING THAT YOU |
| | ARE USING COPPER CONDUCTORS WITH 75 DEGREE INSULATION |
| | WHICH AGAIN IS NOT DEFINED. PER NEC 220.88, THE |
| | CONNECTED LOADS OF BOTH PANELS (160 KW) BEING <200 KW |
| | FOR A NOT ALL ELECTRIC RESTAURANT BE CONSIDERED AT 100 |
| | DEMAND. THEREFORE 160 KW @ 208 V. 3? HAS A CONNECTED |
| | LOAD VALUE OF 443 AMP. MAIN FEEDER CONDUCTORS SHALL BE |
| | SIZED ACCORDINGLY. |
| | 7. COMMENT #11 ENERGY CODE REQUIREMENTS. IN ADDITION TO |
| | THE LIGHTING POWER DENSITY ALLOWANCES THE FBC-ENERGY |
| | CONSERVATION SECTION HAS MANDATORY SWITCHING & LIGHTING |
| | CONTROL REQUIREMENTS WHICH SHALL BE ADDRESSED ON THE |
| | PLANS. |
| | 8. COMMENT #12 FIXTURE SCHEDULE. INCLUDE IN THE FIXTURE |
| | SCHEDULE THE TYPE AND LABEL DESIGNATOR FOR THE PROPOSED |
| | EMERGENCY LIGHTING FIXTURE AND/OR NIGHT LIGHT FIXTURE. |
| | |
